Where in Africa shall we go?

A Bespoke Safari Haven on the Banks of the Zambezi
Nestled along the Zambezi River, deep within Lower Zambezi National Park, Potato Bush Camp offers an intimate yet luxurious safari experience. Framed by ancient mahogany and winterthorn trees, this exclusive retreat provides the perfect balance between contemporary elegance and the untouched wilderness of Zambia’s most revered landscapes. With exceptional game viewing, panoramic river vistas, and world-class guiding, Potato Bush Camp is a destination that epitomizes refined safari living.

The camp features three ultra-spacious luxury safari tents, each offering a private plunge pool, en-suite bathrooms with indoor and outdoor showers, and expansive decks overlooking the river. Elevated on wooden platforms, these tents provide unparalleled game-viewing opportunities right from your private sanctuary. For families and groups, the Potato Bush Family House presents a two-bedroom retreat with a private lounge, dining area, and its own plunge pool, ensuring an exclusive, personalized experience.

Dining at Potato Bush Camp is a culinary journey, where every dish is crafted using fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Guests can enjoy al fresco meals beneath a canopy of stars, intimate private dining on their deck, or fireside gatherings in the main boma. As the Zambezi flows gently past, evening sundowners become a celebration of Africa’s natural beauty, accompanied by the distant roar of lions and the soft call of night birds.

Beyond its spectacular setting, Potato Bush Camp offers an unrivaled range of safari experiences. Morning and evening game drives allow for close encounters with elephants, lions, leopards, and wild dogs, while walking safaris reveal the intricate details of the bush. The Zambezi provides a spectacular water-based playground—guests can embark on canoeing safaris, boat cruises, and exhilarating catch-and-release tiger fishing excursions. Whether drifting silently along the river or tracking predators on foot, every adventure is designed to bring guests closer to Zambia’s extraordinary wilderness.
